Liberty police said they have canceled a warning to the public about a stranger danger incident earlier this week.

A woman called police to say that some pre-school children were approached by men in a car Thursday evening in the area of Prairie and Bonaire streets. The report said the people were asking the children to help them find a lost puppy.

Police said they have spoken to the person involved in the incident and determined that there had been some miscommunication. They said they believe the man was looking for a relative and did not have foul play in mind.

Liberty police said the incident was a good reminder for parents to have children be cautious around strangers.
